>>49599696Would it really? The two aren't even in direct competition with each other, I could only see that happening if they wanted Digimon to become more "marketable" rather than serve its niche.
You might argue that there's no point for Digimon to influenece Pokemon for this (opposite) reason, but there's a bigger portion of older fans who'd like that direction as opposed to vice versa.
Looking at a previous crossover game, there's reason to be hopeful for it should it ever happen.
